Ann Arbor, MI (USA) -- Someone left an odd message for the members of the Zen Buddhist Temple last month. The person opening the front gate on a Sunday morning found a 6-foot-tall cross leaning against the wall that fronts the temple at 1214 Packard Road. Attached to the cross was a message: "Dear sinners, Repent and ye will be saved.''
The note is with the police, but the cross remains behind the temple wall, and members there would like to give it to someone who would better appreciate it.
"Someone went to some trouble to make it,'' said Haju Sunim, the temple's priest about the cross, which is made of four-by-fours, with angled ends.
There is a report of the incident on file, but with few clues, no action is planned for now, said Ann Arbor Police Lt. Michael Logghe.
The note was signed, "Love,'' with the name of a local student religious group, according to a police report. However, representatives of that group said no one there knows anything about it and they are shocked that someone would put the organization's name on the note.
